Thanks!~ 

I just recently started becoming more active on the site because I'm seeing its wealth of knowledge.
Hopefully one day I'll be able to give back myself!

What's "big" to you?
- On Wednesday at 9:39 (CT) the host the Donkdown, a freeroll which usually gets 200-300+ players.
- The 54 Player SNG Freeroll which is always a 54 player tournament (it starts when it's full, and typically resets shortly after it ends)
- Their 1 chip 50 GTD typically has ~50+ people in it.
- I've seen a 1 chip 100 GTD (may no longer exist) which got 70+ players
- They also have "krill" tournaments (krill is a rakeback currency) which I've seen get 100-200+ players

I just signed up to at least try their free 200 Kh/7 days +a 0.0001 BTC bonus. IMHO, their site doesn't SEEM to 'scam-y', but who knows. I think the amount of free BTC that they're giving away is feasible; if they can create better mining hardware than I can with my money and advertise a lower Kh/s/$ than they can truly make, they profit too, though I have little knowledge of mining whatsoever.

Nonetheless, I forget exactly when I signed up honestly, but their interface says I have 5 days left and my balance is currently 0.00295622. I'll come back to the thread at the end of the trial period, do some calculations, and figure out how long it would take me to get back a minimum investment (0.02)... I'm considering it, but without all the data, I'm definitely not doing something that'll take more than a reasonable period of time to profit on (given the possibility of being scammed as well).

If you wanna try it, I'll shamelessly post my ref-link to their registration page, and even link this line to it:

Yep. Around ∞% profit. No complaints here

I'm up to about 0.4 BTC from random faucets and a bit of luck gambling tbch.

I've been up to about this much before, but sold (and started over) back when BTC was about $150... But with the price that BTC are at now, my current BTC will most likely end up a small investment.

Feeling down/dumb/cheated on a neutral outcome is rarely with good reason

But yea, although I'm new here too, welcome.

Hey guys,

First of all, I'll introduce myself; I'm Dan, I'm a 23-year-old Economist-gone-Computer-Scientist currently studying Economics at a small University. I got interested in Bitcoin about a year ago, but never bought in (I own about 0.4 BTC from some previously generous faucets); I was more interested in watching its progress and speculating as an outsider.

Nonetheless, as an Economist, I'm incredibly interested in the currency. And as an assigned project for some of my schooling, I've been required to develop a multiple regression equation based upon anything - I chose the Bitcoin's price... Put simply, I'm trying to find which variables (to what degree, with what uncertainty, and blah blah [Economics stuff]) affect the Bitcoin.

Basically, I'm looking for some help in determining which variables I can include into my model to try to explain the BTC price [to whatever degree]

As an example of a 'possible' model:
BTC price = C1(volume traded at the time) + C2(increase in volume from past measure) + C3(bitcoins mined) + C4(total number of transactions)



If you have ANY ideas as to what you believe affects the BTC price (and can be easily quantified for given time periods), PLEASE let me know. Thanks
(If this post is out of line for the Newbies forum, sorry... I'm a Newbie and tbch just wanted some other btcers opinions)
If/When I finish my shitty/eye-opening regression, I'd be happy to post it here.

Cheers and thanks,
